Carnival secretly allowed public communication and cultural bonding for the Afro-Caribbean cultures from as far back as the 1600s.This year's festival will feature seven entertainment zones: a live music zone with Reggae, Soca, Calypso, World Music, and New Orleans's Jazz; a KidsFest zone; 4 DJ zones representing a variety of music from the Caribbean, and a steel band zone.

I was in St. Thomas in April, which is when they celebrate Carnival over there. It was a lot of fun. The parties went on until the sun came up. If you're all salsa'd out after Saturday's event, swing by the Cambridge Carnival on Sunday and spend the afternoon hanging out with friends and family. Click (here) for the official website.
